The old one is, but it makes it harder to get under cap. Bonus can only be stretched over four years, rather than six; you can't split the cap hit over two years by doing it on June 1; incentives are automatically counted as if they were fulfilled; and an extension could mean an increase in the cap of about $10 million. This might not be all bad since we're under the cap, though. There's speculation the Redskins may have to cut 15-20 players just to break even. Same thing with other teams that are way over right now. Lots of players available and not a lot of people able to sign. That means having cap space right now is a big deal. It also might make it easier to protect the guys we have now.
